We know that modification of diet can drastically reduce your risk of getting prostate cancer. Changing your diet and working out seems to be the best way to reduce your risks of this type of cancer in men. It has been recommended that Vitamin A, Beta-Carotene, Selenium are good things to add and foods such as brussel sprouts, tomatoes, green tea, cabbage, cauliflower, garden peas and broccoli. These are all great recommendations and another study from some folks in the UK seem to also point to beans. Reduction of fats were said to be important, fatty foods containing; saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated fatty acids. Yet when studied it seemed that they were more concerns of reducing other cancers rather than prostate cancer and although you really should reduce your intake of fats of this type, it was not as critical for prostate cancer risk reduction. It was found that those who ate beans on a regular basis such as two-times per week or more reduced their risks of prostate cancer by a little over 35%, which is quite significant. Additionally it was found that sunlight helped, presumably from the Vitamin D. So perhaps you might wish to add beans to your garden along with the other foods recommended by various studies and grow them your self outside in the sun? And as long as you are thinking about this, why not go for some screening, after all catching prostate cancer is the easiest way to stop it. Think on this. |
